Dismissed
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for timely filing of a Board Appeal request and dismissed the attempted appeals.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file a timely Board Appeal request within one year from the date that the agency of original jurisdiction mailed notice of the decision, and good cause has not been shown to accept the late filing.
